  1. Who will the ‘Coolock Says No’ crew be supporting? 

  3. I’m pretty sure that most the trouble at the last Euros involving England fans was caused by other nation’s hard boiled eggs going looking for them and trashing shit.

  4. I’m sure they are quaking in their boots at the thought of dealing with the might of an gardai. 😂

  5. “Operation Dearóil will use experience of dealing with stag parties to keep order”
    They are sending Kilkenny’s finest to patrol the Aviva.

  6. You will be asked politely to behave, and if you continue to misbehave the Gardai will be forced to ask again.

  10. The modern travelling England fan is mostly middle aged and middle class now a days. The old hooligan element that haven’t been banned, have mostly taken too much of a battering around Europe and have since retired.

    England fans now are fairly vanilla.

  11. According to a translator I used Dearóil means Cheers. Operation Cheers 🙂

  13. “you will receive an official ‘ah now lads don’t push it’ for any major felonies.

    if cannabis is found on your person the armed support unit will be called.”

  14. Not great the guards cancel booked leave for something mundane like a match. I can understand a state visit but if we’re so understaffed in the gardaí that this is genuinely needed fucking with their leave isn’t exactly going to help retention.

  16. Time “Coolock says no” crowd will be out with extra firelighters that day seeing as the public order unit will be preoccupied.

  17. Seizing alcohol off thousands of people drinking in the streets. Yeah good luck.

  18. Remember when they threw that bench on to the family section.

  19. You mean Fuck all consequences to everything up to murder which will give them a suspended sentence and possession of a few micrograms of cannabis which might get them a prison sentence?

  20. > what response they can expect from the Garda

    My guess would be “not much of one.”

  21. “The English FA has warned England fans travelling here to Dublin this weekend have been warned gardaíí will enforce a ban on public drinking…”

    Stellar penmanship for the Indo there, Mike, might get me to pony up for the garbage behind the paywall yet.

  22. Sure Helen McEntee said Dublin’s a safe city, so it’s grand

  23. I was at that match, East Terrace across the pitch. Took us a little while to realise what was going on simply because ‘that doesn’t happen here.’
    Crowd were evacuated before the Guards kicked seven shades of shite out of them. I only found out about that when I got home.

  24. > The English FA has warned England fans travelling here to Dublin this weekend have been warned gardaíí will enforce a ban on public drinking as thousands prepare to visit the city for the Uefa Nations League clash.

    Are articles not proofread at all any more, this word salad is the first paragraph!?

  25. Will the Garda allow them to wreck and rampage before having to restore order with full-scale maximum force. That was the strategy in previous decades with England, Rangers and Linfield.

  26. Football. Just seems to bring out the worse types of cavemen who do not represent their home country and turn a game into a freak show.
